About Alana

Alana Corradi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, straightforward style and focuses on helping people manage everyday pressures. Parents and caregivers will find practical support for stress and parenting concerns.

Sessions aim to address anxiety, low mood, anger, and self-esteem in ways people can use at home. Alana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques.

Background and approach

She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build small routines that reduce overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen commitment and find personal reasons for change. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth.

Alana views each person as the expert on their life and works alongside them to set realistic goals. She avoids jargon and focuses on clear steps clients can take between sessions. Typical conversations include identifying stress triggers, experimenting with coping strategies, and practicing mindful moments.

Sessions may involve short exercises, goal setting, and checking progress over time. The aim is steady improvement rather than quick fixes. Alana offers sessions by phone, video calls, live chat, and text messaging.

All work is provided in English and follows Florida practice standards. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How chosen approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It emphasizes respect for the client's goals and uses reflective listening to help people feel heard and make their own decisions. This approach works well when someone needs space to sort feelings and set priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and ongoing stress by providing clear steps to change daily patterns.

Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm. Simple breathing and awareness exercises are taught and then practiced between sessions to build steady habits.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust plans together. Clients help decide which methods fit their needs and preferences over time.

Online sessions make this work flexible and accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful when video is not possible. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, brief exercises, and ongoing support between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy family and caregiver schedules.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
